IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON-SWEEPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 167.494, dated September 7, 1875 application filed October 19, 1874.

T0 allaohom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MANFRED CALL, ofRichmond, in the county of Henrico and State of Virginia, have invented a new and Improved Cotton-Sweep; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective showing the pieces separated, and Fig. 2 one showing them together.

The invention will first be described in connection with drawing, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing, A forms the nose-piece or point with the flange O, and is attached to the land-side of the plow by the bolt D, that holds them together, mold-board, point, and slide being removed. B is a heel-piece attached to the center piece immediately in rear of A by a bolt. Either of these pieces A or B may be removed and replaced without interfering with the other, or they may be cast in one piece, forming then a nose or point and side, A B. F and G are the wings, and are of steel. The wing G is fastened to the flange 0 through the holes H H by two bolts, I I, countersunk into the wing G. The wing F is attached to the standard of the plow by a countersunk bolt at J, passing through the bolt-hole in the standard used in fastening the plow-point to it, and by the wrought-iron brace K, which is attached to the under side of the wing by a countersunk bolt at L, and to the inside of the standard by a bolt through a hole in the standard used in fastening on the mold-board, and

through the brace at M. The front of the.

nose or point projects over each side, forming a groove between the flange O and the ridge part N on one side, and between the standard of the plow and the ridge part N on the other side. These grooves receive the wings F and G. The wings F and G are reversible. When the cutting edges 0 and 1? become worn the wing F is to be attached through the holes Q and It instead of J and L, which brings the edge S in front, and the wing G is to be attached through the holes T T instead of I I, which brings the edge W in front.

This cotton-sweep attachment is intended to be applied to all the purposes for which cotton-sweeps are used, and combines strength and economy.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The center piece provided with shovel-point A, overlapping nose-piece N, and side flange G, as shown and described, to adapt itto be applied to the skeleton of a turn-plow, in connection with the two wings, as specified.

MAN FRED CALL.
